Why You Will Love This Easy Egg in a Bagel Hole Recipe

This recipe takes three classic breakfast ideas (bagels, bacon and eggs, and egg-in-a-hole) and turns them into one super delicious, hearty breakfast. With a buttery, toasted bagel, creamy soft-baked eggs, salty prosciutto and melty cheese, each bite is packed with flavor and protein.

Ingredients

  • 1 bagel (sliced in half)

  • 2 Happy Eggs

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 2 slices prosciutto

  • White cheddar or gruyere cheese

  • Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 375º, then slice the bagel in half and carve out a larger hole in the center if needed.

  2. Butter Up: Melt the butter in the microwave and add Italian seasoning. Dip both bagel halves into the butter mixture and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. Layer on the Flavor: Line the bagel holes with prosciutto to prevent the egg from leaking. Add a sprinkle of cheese around the edges.

  4. Crack those Happy Eggs: Carefully crack an egg into each bagel hole. Don't worry if it overflows a bit.

  5. Bake & Set: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set.

  6. Garnish, Serve & Enjoy: Sprinkle with fresh chives, salt, and pepper. Serve right away and enjoy!
